@blathfiain The desperation of the liberal middle class to live in cloud cuckoo land, and hope that good intentions will protect them continues to astound me
@mino1097954@MasakoHurford@wheninthearea It definitely projects much more of a 'working building' image than others do. A colleague and I walked past on The Job and popped in to have a look, it's a surprisingly awe-inspiring building considering how recent it is.
@blathfiain I've never even looked into going to Cuba but I know that the US are funny about it, just like other countries are about visiting their rivals/trouble spots

@blathfiain I’ve been sampling Celsius most recently, as most of my fav flavours are being discontinued. A mate recommended NOCCO so I bought a case and can’t stand it? Haha!
A murder investigation has been launched after a man in his 20s died following a stabbing on North Road, Southall, shortly after midnight on Wednesday.
Seven men were arrested on suspicion of murder. Six remain in custody, while a seventh remains in hospital with injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening.
This is the 45th confirmed publicly reported murder investigation in London launched by @metpoliceuk in 2026 and the 3rd in the month of June.

@MsSWhiskey I forgot my least favourite "stand with" and "stand in solidarity" - always means "we're not doing anything to help or change things, but we'd like to virtue signal a bit"
@MsSWhiskey "don't speculate" - errr, wtf? If you don't provide information people will speculate, saying don't do something that comes naturally is the most redundant thing in the world and makes you look weak and petulant. And genuine bad actors will ignore you anyway!
We think it’s Skittles for Four O’Clockers today.
Thank you to Engineer Technician (Weapon Engineer) Aaron Napier for snapping this cool phot.

@MsSWhiskey Every single statement by a public figure or organisation sounds identical "unacceptable", "won't tolerate", "those that divide us", "the politics of division"
@blathfiain That's probably quicker than getting your passport renewed, haha! Didn't the Americans threaten us to make sure the border with Eire was soft? Ironic given their recent outrageous comments about invasions - they made this one possible!
